TORONTO, April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE:B)(TSX:ABX) ("Barrick" or the "Company") today welcomed the decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissing an appeal by certain Tanzanian residents alleging human rights abuses by members of the Tanzanian Police Force in the vicinity of the Company's North Mara gold mine. This decision upheld an earlier ruling of the Superior Court of Ontario which found that Ontario is not the appropriate forum to consider these claims and that they must be adjudicated in Tanzania.

Evidence filed during this case established that the Tanzanian Police Force acts independently of Barrick, which maintains a zero tolerance policy for human rights violations by employees, contractors or any third parties acting on its behalf.

Barrick's President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Hill said: "Barrick is proud of our work in Tanzania, which we do in close partnership with all levels of government and our host communities. Our work together creates jobs, drives economic development and improves the lives of many Tanzanians."
